An equitable risk allocation between contracting parties plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of the project. This research presents a new quantitative risk allocation approach by integrating fuzzy logic and bargaining game theory. Owing to the imprecise and uncertain nature of players’ payoffs at different risk allocation strategies, fuzzy logic is implemented to determine the value...

many factors affect yield loss in wheat harvesting with a grain combine harvester and there is no mathematical model to describe the behavior of this complex system. thus in this study, a fuzzy logic controller (flc) was designed, implemented and tested for the automatic settings of cylinder speed, concave clearance, fan speed and forward speed of a model 955 john deere combine. first, the mech...

quality of service (qos) refers to a set of rules or techniques that help the network administrators use the available network resources optimally to manage the effects of congestion and to treat the applications according to their needs. the differentiated services architecture (diffserv) allows providing quality of service to users. the major diffserv premise is that individual flows with sim...

project participants are becoming more aware of the high costs and risks associated with delay claims and their litigation. among delays, weather delay has an important role in projects performed in severe environmental conditions. this research is the extension of delay analysis techniques by approving analysis of weather delays using fuzzy logic. at the presented technique, first using a fuzz...
